What is VALD Testing?

VALD testing isn’t just another fitness assessment—it’s a deep dive into your body’s capabilities, trusted by over 2,000 sports teams and more than 2 million athletes across 50 sports in over 130 countries. Using advanced equipment, this testing pinpoints your strengths, highlights deficiencies, and offers actionable insights to refine your technique and performance. Here’s what you’ll experience:

  • ForceDecks: Dual force plates that analyze over 20 movements—jumps, squats, balance tests, and more. Get real-time data on strength, power, and asymmetries, benchmarked against global norms.
  • DynaMo: A handheld dynamometer and inclinometer delivering over 300 strength and range-of-motion tests. Measure grip, force, and movement with precision, all tracked via an intuitive app.
  • SmartSpeed: A timing gate system testing speed, agility, reactivity, and jumps. Whether you’re an elite athlete or rehabbing an injury, SmartSpeed provides accurate, actionable results with easy setup and real-time feedback.

All your results sync to the VALD app, where you can compare yourself to athletes worldwide. Curious how you stack up against peers in your sport—or even elite performers? This is your chance to find out.
